  I finally got around to reading the instructions on how to operate the credit card machines at circuit events. It was so entertaining that when my sister arrived last night, we went over them together. I do not think I have laughed this hard in years. We were crying we were laughing so hard. One of the best lines is the following....

  R

  EFUND

  The “Refund” function is used to reverse a credit card transaction after it has been settled.

  The “Refund” function has been disabled.

  This is priceless...In fact, I think this will be my new catch phrase for my daughters daily request for more cash....

  "A sister might attempt to rationalize forming a romantic link "- why is this a female thing? Males are exempt?

  Unshackled

  ...There's that damn word...extracurricular....didn't really know what the hell it meant

  Yes, extracurricular, masturbation, fornication....I knew they were very bad - never had a clue what any of it was.

  my article is titled lawyers response resigned and withdrawn elder and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/09/lawyers-response-resigned-and-withdrawn.html.

  I loved this on page 2....

  If a member is charged with wrongdoing and wishes to continue to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, then such one should submit to the hearings of the judicial committee. Only if you wished to continue to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses would the judicial committee arrangement be appropriate or necessary.

  What BS! There are so many of us on this board that did not want to be a JW. We just wanted to walk away and be left alone. But, those dumbasses insisted on a committee meeting and a DF'ing announcement.

  JW's Thoughts on Medical Cannabis

  by bushido8000 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've wondered this for sometime.

  to all of the jws on the forum, what is your opinion on medical cannabis?

  i support it for a couple of reasons.. 1. i've battled clinical depression since age 9. after my anti-depressants stopped working when i was 21, i heard about cannabis' positive effects on depression through the internet and a couple of documentaries so i tried it.

  i just saw this on the morning tv news - and did not get to hear enough of it to make sense:.

  but, they were saying something about a patron sneaking a taser into the sunday game and using it on another fan.. they also said that one of the guys (i assumed the victim) was "a devout jehovah's witness who does not believe in saluting the flag or standing for the national anthem".. anybody know what happened here?.

  My friend just called to tell me Sports Center is having a heyday with this story and it has been on ESPN numerous times. He did not see the humor in it like I did.

  Your top 5 most irritating doctrines/practices?

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's clear that virtually everyone on here is infuriated by wt teachings/doctrines/practices, but i would really like to know what is of most concern to people who frequent this forum.. here is my top 5, number 1 being the most significant/infuriating:.

  the disfellowshipping practice - expanded to include family members (but not parents) who are old enough to leave home.

  wrecks families and creates abject fear once people find out the truth about the organization.the blood issue - another unmerciful teaching, but one that costs lives.unquestioned authority of governing body - a handful of men make life-altering decisions as representatives of a larger group of people who they never see or speak to, and yet they demand unquestioning obedience on pain of being disfellowshipped.failed prophecy - the fulfilment of huge swathes of bible prophecy, including revelation, has been attributed to the events of the early 20th century, and the actions of a small group of men.two-tier christianity - faithful and discreet slave are anointed who go to heaven to whom ransom provisions apply directly, whereas remainder, or "great crowd" stay on earth and form a sub-class, only access benefits of ransom through fds.i realise that many of these issues are inter-related, but that's roughly how i would put them.
